Irv, You may want to research further as to the toxicity levels of the "Mercury contaminated fish" in the Great Lakes. While mercury is present, it is such minute levels that it would take a carload of mercury contaminated fish at one setting to kill anyone, and then it would be that you ate too much, not that you ingested too much mercury. Here in Midland County there is a big dixon issue, and Dow Chemical is being blamed totally for the problem. The problem is that the dixon levels are higher north of Midland than they are South, and the river in question doesnt flow north.

Some of the clowns are those who use junk science and false or irrelevant data to advance their causes and agendas. DDT was banned using such tactics, and the result is death in the millions due to malaria and other insect carried diseases.
